    ok my bad i dont pvp much, all i know is that i see people wts stuff that sell for 120k or even willpower or agility rings and when i ask they say either IC or pvp, the best sellable item i can get in pve is an arcane willpower ring and that is so rare its almost imposible, while ita so easy to get from vaults in IC
    while ita so easy to get from vaults in IC
    so easy to get
    Yes. With robust trait. :D
    As well as 9000 maces and shields of willpower.
    There are a few rare drops that are worth quite a bit - like purple/golden Vicious death jewelry (except purple rings cause of the merchant), but theyre only expensive because theyre rare and are parts of an OP set. Other pvp items are either cheaper (Akaviri motif) or BoP (monster items). And on the other hand, jewelry of Worm cult and Ebony sets also costs quite a bit and drops in PvE (normal and vet MoL). Ive heard that a purple Worm necklace was sold for around a million.
    Also, you can get a steady income just by doing crafting surveys and farming/refining mats and harvesting alchemy ingedients. Yeah, a single columbine doesnt cost much, but you can get them on regular basis, unlike MoL drops and campaign rewards.

    Willpower maces and shields? My magblade tank may need to visit this city...

    Sap tank nightblade op. Get torugs snb instead :). 3 Torugs for spell dmg and health, 5 kags 3 willpower with healthy enchants or arcane. Heavy armor ofc :wink: You got dmg but you'll need to run siphoning attacks to sustain.

    Even the epic pvp rings sell well, Mark men etc. With upcoming DLC they will be very useful.....

    His point is that PvP players make money while actually playing content that they want to while PvE players don't. PvP players receive BoE items while just well.. PvPing.. PvE players have to farm resources etc. for gold, not sell gear received from dungeons (because most everything is BoP).

    I do get this point, but if you never PvP, you do not understand that it is not just that easy, and not everyone is raking in the gold, just like not every PvE'er is raking in gold. While I do well in PvP, I make more gold in PvE. There may be some that do better in one or the other, but I feel like I am probably an average player when it comes to gold making. It really isn't my thing. I make between 15k and 30k a night. Not huge numbers and most of it from PvE content.
    Many in my guilds have said "making gold but will be in Cyrodiil in a bit"....because they find it easier to make gold in PvE as well. Those grinding IC are grinding like everyone everywhere else, so not much difference, except a little more difficult to get around.

    I make more gold than I need simply with multiple alts doing all daily writs, three vets doing undaunted daily quests and selling excess loot (white/green items) back to merchants. My master crafter makes all of my characters gear, potions and food but does nothing else except daily writs and still makes up to about 30k a week.

    Like just about any mmo the best way to make money is to do what you enjoy. Note I did not say "fastest". I enjoy crafting and the like as well as all other aspects of gameplay so I make a VERY decent living off running writs on all my toons as you make a fairly steady stream of straight gold alone as well as accumulating gold tempers and mats to sell as well!

    While pvp has some big ticket items to sell you either need to be VERY lucky or the best of the best to get it which would probably be a safe assumption that those top %s are definitely doing what they love!

    I do agree that pve items need to stop being BoP to open new markets, however, with what we have you can definitely make a VERY sustainable income without ever setting foot in Cyrodiil.

    If you do things you despise to "make gold" you will hate the entire process while if you do things you enjoy it will come to you soon enough!
